It's Celleno, a village perched on a tuff spur in the province of Viterbo, not even far from Orvieto, which has a lot in common with the most famous village in Lazio, both united by a sad fate and common events. Celleno was first hit by epidemics, then by landslides, terrible events that occurred in unspecified years, and finally destroyed by an earthquake in 1931. The fact is that from the end of the 19th century it was abandoned. Today it is considered a ghost village.
The new village of Celleno was rebuilt not far away in the 1930s, today there are just under 1500 inhabitants.
The abandoned village is still an intricate maze of narrow streets that lead up to that that remains of the ancient castle, after passing the scenic Via del Ponte, narrow streets overlooked by small houses without plaster and the remains of basalt stone buildings. The catello has been through a lot: it experienced the ups and downs of the rivalry between Guelph and Ghibelline families; in the 15th century it became a possession of the Gatti family and then it was a fiefdom of the Orsini, a family from which it still takes its name.
The lack of maintenance has spared only the most architecturally valuable part of the town, the one around Piazza del Comune. Here are the Orsini Castle, the 17th century church of San Carlo, the 1200 church of San Donato and other palaces.
The village of Celleno was selected by the FAI (Italian Environment Fund) among its assets and in days dedicated to extraordinary openings, guided tours are organized by the FAI Giovani Group of Viterbo and by the Ciceroni Apprentices of the “Buratti” Unitus High School.--d0463aac236e79f484fd089abe5f2120!
